The goal for the night was 275 lbs and I got 280 lb, super happy! 

My form was just a bit off but I was still able to get all the weights, except 265 lb (my feet slid out from under me), all the way to lock out.  When I got 280 lb in my hands it felt like a million pounds, so I held it for a long time just trying to be ok with it.  Usually once I start loading my shirt it takes some of the weight off of me and I focus more on where I am going to touch, but with this weight the more I loaded my shirt the harder it got - I slowed it right down at the bottom to be sure to not let it get away from me (like I did a couple weeks ago with 275).  It was so tough to get it down I thought there is no way this is going back up - Ross said "press" and I sailed it right back and locked it out!
